I used Steam a Seam lite to fuse the hearts to white fabric, then used "SOLVY" water soluable stabilizer (comes in different weights) before I used my machine blanket stitch. After I blanket stitched, I cut away all the plastic I could and then soaked the squares in hot water in the sink for abt 15 minutes. Surprise! The rest that was under the stitching just disappeared. I think this stuf is mostly used for machine embroidery.. pretty cool !!!
